2015 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · VU64 ABZ

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 3 August 2026 at 50,415 miles. The record shows a generally stable maintenance pattern; the only recurring advisory is the near‑side front lower suspension arm pin or bush wear noted in the latest test, while earlier advisories on the anti‑roll bar dust cover and under‑tray security were cleared in subsequent passes. Mileage has remained low for a 2015 model, averaging roughly 4,600 miles per year. The odometer rose from 15,443 miles in August 2018 to 21,752 miles in July 2020, then to 26,320 miles in August 2021, and continued a steady climb to 33,563 miles in August 2023, 34,768 miles in July 2024, 42,670 miles in August 2025 and finally 50,415 miles in August 2026. No abrupt spikes are evident, indicating consistent, moderate use rather than periods of heavy mileage accumulation. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front suspension assembly, confirming that the lower arm pin and bush exhibit no excessive play and that the upper anti‑roll bar linkage dust cover is intact. Inspection of the under‑tray should verify that it remains securely attached to the chassis, as a similar fault caused a failure in August 2025. Tyre surfaces should be examined for any cracking or perishing that may have been present in the 2024 test, and all position lamps and the daytime running lamp must be confirmed operational to avoid a repeat of the 2025 failure. A visual check for corrosion around the under‑tray and suspension mounting points will also help ensure structural integrity. Finally, while no brake or exhaust advisories appear in the record, a practical assessment of brake disc condition, pad thickness and overall brake performance is advisable, as these components are not captured by the MOT unless a fault is present. Confirming the effectiveness of the windscreen washer system and the presence of adequate washer fluid will complete a thorough pre‑purchase evaluation.
